336 – We’re on a trip – 4
There was a minor disturbance that almost knocked Irina’s mental state out of whack, but thanks to Irina’s heart as broad as the sea, nothing happened. Could pass without I’m sorry she kept referring to the sea, but what can I do when all she sees is the sea.
So let’s reflect more. Choosing lemonade out of many, many things, doesn’t it mean that I also unconsciously recalled the incident? There are no crazy babies.
“Brother, I think I get motion sickness too.”
“Look at me. Two people is impossible.”
In the meantime, when she saw her holding Irina, Louise made a joke mixed with her, but luckily it ended with her joke. Rather, she looked at Irina, who returned to her arms, with her worried eyes.
She thinks she has caused unnecessary worry to Louise, so she feels sorry. What kind of expression would you make if you knew that it was not something like motion sickness, but just a mental breakdown? This is something you have to do for the rest of your life.
“Oh, brother. You can drop me off now.”
“Let’s stay like this until we find a place to sit. It’s worse if we force ourselves to walk.”
And she even brought out the word to take it down first, as if that feeling of sorry was the same for Irina. Of course she didn’t listen.
‘My conscience hurts.’
She first picks up a fight with Irina, who is still, and picks her up first, then says that she notices? It’s such an arbitrary behavior. Wouldn’t it be correct to stick like this now?
For a moment, she even thought that she had come to the sea for no reason, but since she had already come, there was nothing she could do about it. Rather, let’s erase Irina’s black history by making only good memories today.
“Ah, they sell squid over there too?”
I could feel Irina trembling at Louise’s words, which were supposed to be innocuous.
…It will be difficult to completely erase it, but let’s try our best.
She came all the way to the sea, but she couldn’t get into the water because she couldn’t prepare a swimsuit. Still, she didn’t feel sorry for the sea, as even walking along the sandy beach was tasteful.
In fact, considering this subtly developed worldview, there is nothing strange about renting a swimsuit nearby. I actually looked around and it seemed to be rented from several places–
“It becomes difficult when nobles share things that commoners also use. There are nobles who think that it hurts their dignity, and commoners who will use it next to nobles are not paying attention.”

Seeing Louise’s gentle refusal, she couldn’t have asked for more. Louise wasn’t picky or authoritative, but if she reacted like this, it seemed more like a common sense issue than a face issue.
At times like this, I feel that I am a possessed chair. I thought I had gotten used to it, but I realized the difference in common sense when I just forgot it.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t borrow other people’s things in the first place, so there are many nobles who don’t care.”
“That’s probably it too.”
Looking at me embarrassed, Louise smiled.
Thank you for comforting me…
“Still, it’s a bit disappointing. I’ve come all the way to the sea, but I’m just looking at it.”
“Are you thinking of going in the water?”
At Louise’s giggling words, I inadvertently stroked the wound. Wounds that have not yet fully healed because the remnants have not disappeared.
Convinced. Certainly, even if I had a swimsuit, I would have just watched.
“Besides, I’m a bit sorry if I’m having too much fun.”
“Huh?”
I couldn’t help but tilt my head at Irina’s words.
I’m sorry, isn’t today the time Marghetta and Ma Jong-gong made concessions as an apology? What’s wrong with enjoying that time?
“Me and Louise, uh, compared to the others, we feel like we’re involved, don’t we? The period we met with oppa is short, and the memories are few…”
Irina tried to smile as she spoke, but the more she spoke, the more sullen her expression became. Even Louise cautiously lowered her eyes, perhaps thinking the same thing.
Her heart sank at the sight. That she had such thoughts in her heart, but that she had no idea, and that at the same time, she had neglected them until she had those thoughts.
Of course, like Irina said, it was last year that we first met. It’s a relatively late meeting compared to Marghetta, who met two years ago, and the chiefs of the majonggong and the chiefs who met right after the great subjugation war. Since we met late, it is natural that we will inevitably have fewer memories.
However, meeting late and thinking ‘It’s only natural to notice because we met late’ are two different things. This is a matter of self-esteem and rank.
‘You must have been negligent.’
It’s complicated. As much as it was an undeserved relationship, as those ties made amicable concessions and decided to be with me, I also made a commitment to treat the six without any deficiency or regret. Wives don’t have any problems, but what shame would they raise their heads if a discord arises because their husbands are doing nonsense?
‘I tried to be as fair as possible.’
Unfortunately, it seems that it was just an effort. Louise and Irina were frightened at not being able to impart even the information about the wound fairly, and there is a high probability that things that I hadn’t recognized even before that overlapped and gave them a slight contraction.
In fact, it is also natural. To give reassurance to the two, who met relatively late, you have to show deeper interest and affection, which is impossible with mechanical fairness. Even if you distribute 50 and 10 to 10, the gap of 40 can never be filled.
No, did I even show mechanical fairness in the first place? Have lovers, not just Louise and Irina, ever expressed their love for peace of mind?
“At best, we made concessions with a good heart, but if it’s too good for each other—”
Before Irina finished speaking, she hugged Louise and Irina by the waist. It’s a comfortable position to sit side by side on a bench.
“Hey!”
“Oh, brother!?”
Different reactions came back to the sudden skinship, but they didn’t care.
“Don’t think of it as a concession. Today is the right time for Mar and Beatrix because they made a mistake.”
I couldn’t stay still as long as I knew what they were thinking. He said just now that it felt like he was involved because he had few memories, but he hesitated and apologized for making memories among us. It’s an absurd contradiction, but it also means that the spirit has died.
In addition, we need to change the idea that we have been given this time. I thought it was a concession, but it was an expression of gratitude to Marghetta and Prince Majong for admitting their mistakes without putting a steel plate on their faces. On the other hand, the concessions Louise and Irina talk about are more like those given by superiors out of generosity.
That’s not okay. No way. Although the order of wives is determined by the order of marriage, there should not be a superior or inferior relationship between wives.
“So you should have fun and go back more than anyone else. That way, I won’t be hiding anything from you in the future.”
“…His older brother did the same thing.”
I instinctively shut my mouth at Louise’s rather pouty voice.
My enemy is the me of the past. You bastard bastard, when you try to say something plausible, the karma you committed in the past holds you back.
“I saw earlier that they also sold clothes.”
After a moment of silence, he rose from his seat while hugging Louise and Irina’s waists. If you can’t win with words, it’s actions.
“I’ll buy you a new one.”
“Uh, yes?”
“Hey, oppa? Why is it different—”
I jumped into the sea with one-sided notification. If it’s something you’re wearing when swimming, it’s probably a swimsuit anyway.
I got scolded a little after that, but I was able to play with a smile.

The director of the inspection department was asked to submit a report on the world tree crisis last night, and the report was uploaded this morning. Looking at the time, it seems that I probably wrote it before bed and sent it off.
If it was another report, you might think it was a rough draft because it was annoying, but in this case, it was important to report as quickly as possible, so I was convinced. Rather, if it took days or weeks to explain in detail, my stomach would have exploded.
Of course, just because you sent it quickly doesn’t mean you feel fine.
‘I’m going crazy.’
At the same time as waking up, there was a report sent by the director of the inspection department that I habitually checked, and as soon as I checked the contents, I had no choice but to close my eyes again. Because I wondered if I was looking at something in vain because I was tired.
Of course, it wasn’t anything like that. It was just that there was something written that could not be understood with normal thinking and knowledge.
“Your Highness, are you all right? Your complexion hasn’t looked good since morning.”
“I have something important to think about. Don’t worry, I’m not tired.”
The shock I received in the morning continued until lunchtime. Rain, who was having a meal with us, was worried and asked, so I could guess what her complexion would look like without looking in the mirror.
‘What the heck.’
He smiled and replied to Rain, but his head was extremely complicated.
[ … The energy of the eternal blue sky, the god of nomads, was imbued with the wounds inflicted by the reverse heavenr during the great subjugation war, and the energy was such a huge fragment that it contained the will of the god. Short communication with the will of the gods was possible through contact with the fairies who had survived until now, and according to the will of the gods, they moved to the trees managed by the elders of the elves… ]
It was a report that contained only the necessary information, but at the same time, it was completely incomprehensible.
God? The energy of the gods dwelled in the director of the inspection department? Do you suddenly communicate with that energy? Move it to the tree Then the world tree will be resurrected?
I couldn’t understand what the hell he was talking about. It wasn’t the feeling of hearing an absurd excuse, it was the feeling of really refusing to understand common sense.
‘Suddenly a god.’
Confused. With the Church of Dawn winning the religious war, most of the gods were silent, and communication with the few remaining gods was cut off as Aphels oppressed the different races. The current continent where only Enen exists.
In such a situation, the world tree is suddenly revived by the power of another god. How should we accept this? No, should I believe it in the first place?
Of course, God is a being that cannot be understood by human common sense. In the case of an accidental accident caused by the whim of such a godhead, and in case the director of the inspection department went mad and wrote a false report. If you choose one of the two, the former is more likely—
“If the number of marriages is divided, they will marry at the same time and everyone will be first.”
…
‘Hmm.’
Coming to think of it, I already have a crazy history. The possibility of the latter has increased.
‘I have to give a report to my father.’
My head was pounding even more. If it’s something related to the different races, I have to report it to my father. Does it make sense that the Emperor of Kpelofen, an ally of the different races, does not know about the resurrection of the World Tree?
But even I don’t know how to report this incomprehensible matter to my father.
‘…Fortunately, it’s not something you’ll make a problem with.’
My father is relatively generous to imperial whites, and merciful to disabled soldiers who devoted themselves to the empire. The director of the inspection department falls under both of those cases, so there is no reason for the emperor to look at her with pity.
In addition, the process is incomprehensible, but isn’t the result beneficial to the imperial family and the empire? Even the emperor would just nod his head at the end of his thoughts and move on.
Okay, so let’s report it like this. If the emperor raises a question, then he pecked at the inspector general.
‘There’s no need to call.’
After a while, the anniversary of the end of the Great Subjugation War. At that time, even for the commemoration, the director of the inspection department comes to Jedo.
Even if you leave it alone, there is no need to summon someone to come.
